Default Set my first line of the season......
The field behind the house is finally combined , so last nite just before dark I ran out and made 5 sets. I just now ran my first check and was successful on 4 of the 5. So now its off to the skinning shack and hopefully the prices this year will be high. One is a XXL !!

They are pocket gophers! And the water is too alkaline to hold muskrats.

Congrats on the rats. ( Almost sounds like a country song)

They almost look like pocket gophers.
